Let It Rock (Ronnie Hawkins album)

Let It Rock is a Juno Award-nominated album that documents American-Canadian singer Ronnie Hawkins' 60th birthday celebration and concert at Massey Hall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1][2] The concert took place on January 8, 1995 and featured performances by Hawkins, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Band and Larry Gowan. Jeff Healey sat in on guitar for most, if not all, of the performances. Hawkins' band, The Hawks, or permutations of it, backed most, if not all, of the acts. All of the musicians performing that night were collectively dubbed "The Rock ā€˜Nā€™ Roll Orchestra". The concert is among the last recorded of both Perkins and Rick Danko of The Band. An eponymous video of the concert was also released.

gollark: Probably not, just add a rule talking about how the existing processing rules map to batch tasks.
gollark: What? No, probably not, you would just wait 150 minutes.
gollark: I mean more like being able to queue up batch operations on furnaces/mines or something, so you can say "process 10 clay into 10 brick" and your stuff will be busy for 150 minutes.
gollark: Hmm, perhaps. Maybe a thing where you can queue a bunch of actions to run in a batch?
gollark: Some offense, but this honestly seems like a bad mobile game where you have to constantly log in to collect resources and stuff, but you also have to manually handle the rules too.
